Definitions

  • the invention is based on the problem to create a child pacifying device in the form of a stuffed doll or animal in order to give to the child a feeling of a heartbeat as realistic as possible.
  • One aspect of the invention involves the use of an electromagnet which attracts a relatively heavy bob weight on a leaf spring. Because the leaf spring is secured to a casing inside the stuffed animal, the casing tends to "beat" like a heart. This results in an improvement in that the above-mentioned disadvantages of audible sound and impact-originated abrupt sensation are eliminated.
